From CANA:
Praise be to God! Bishop Minns and Canon Dobbs are reporting from Nigeria that Archbishop Nicholas Okoh has been duly elected as the new Primate-elect of All Nigeria. More information to follow. Please be in prayer for Archbishop Okoh as he begins to work alongside our beloved Primate Peter Akinola during the coming months of transition.

The Archbishop, Peter Akinola used his tenure as the Archbishop of Nigeria to divide the church of Nigeria, the Anglican Church worldwide and persecute the Nigerian Homosexuals in the name of God and the Bible. Most of them ended in prison and we are still being told that Christianity and Anglicanism is all about peace and tolerance and accommodation. If that is true and if Christianity and Anglicanism believes in the brotherhood of all under one Almighty God, why would Akinola fight his own brothers in the name of the same God he shares with his brothers. Something must be wrong somewhere. Either the myth of God is not true or that the divisive and divide and rule theology of Akinola is the problem. Just like our colonial masters funded most of the coups in Africa, so did the Conservatives in the Episcopal Church of America funded him too to fight his brothers. God where are you? Do you really exist? If you do exist, why all these in your name?
I seriously hope that the new Primate should begin the process of healing immediately and bringing back all God's children under the same fold and flock. The Church of Nigeria and the conservative Episcopal Church who funds it to send the homosexuals here to prison should accept the fact that some Christians are gay and therefore must accept them or create a special ministry for them. Fighting and persecuting them strengthens them and weakens the chain and cord that bind us all together in our Lord Jesus Christ for in him there is no Jew or gentile. We are all the same children of God.
